Triceratops is one of four titles in Barron’s series about a little boy who has a vivid imagination and a lot of interest in dinosaurs. In this whimsical tale, he makes friends with a Triceratops and discovers how this dinosaur differs from all others. At story’s end, he wakes up in his bed and finds himself cuddling a stuffed toy dinosaur. His adventure has been a dream! A pair of two-page spreads at the back of the book presents realistic line art, one illustration depicting the Triceratops as it looked in life, and the other showing its skeleton. In this series’ other three storybooks, the little boy makes friends with a Stegosaurus, a Brachiosaurus, and a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Funny and fanciful full-page color illustrations on all pages.
